Certified Spanish University Program
Program Overview
Official Language School of the Americas (OLSA) Certified Spanish University Program is an accelerated course that holds certification from the Secretary of Education of Medellin, Colombia, and is eligible for a Colombian student visa. It stands as an excellent choice for individuals seeking rapid Spanish proficiency in a fully immersive setting, including gap-year participants, university students, and professionals.
At OLSA, we go above the minimum required 10 weekly hours of instruction. Our Certified Spanish courses include 12 hours of instruction delivered through two classes - one grammar and one conversational. Our primary focus lies in cultivating conversational Spanish skills, not just Spanish theory.
Through our optional daily language exchanges, social gatherings, excursions, and diverse activities, students not only learn the language but also immerse themselves in Spanish and Latin culture.
